Have you ever been prescribed orthotics or told that you over-pronate?
It's not uncommon for these insertional tendinopathies to "ease off" for a period once you get moving, but if the exercise pushes the muscle to fatigue I'd suspect it starts getting sore again.

Also agree with violablue. You won't get far working on the site of pain. Taping across the distal muscle belly, not unlike you would do for a medial patella glide with PFP taping, can have some good short term effect in inhibiting the muscle, but I'd be working the medial thigh muscles to unload the tendon. Not sure if you can get the roller in there?

Good luck.
